Funing Hall

The moment Empress Dowager Sun was drugged by Aunt Wang, she really thought she was going to die, but she didn't expect to wake up.

Even though her body was drenched after waking up, and the atmosphere in the hall was also weird, she had no time to think about it, let alone why she didn't die, and she didn't ask questions.Her ambition to die at this time is very heavy, but before she dies, she still has to do something.

In this life, she has done many wrong things and wronged many people. These retributions are due.

It's just that she still can't accept that the person she once loved treats her like that.

She laughed, she was going to die, of course she had to die together.

She was sure that Zhao Cong would come to see him.

Zhao Cong will naturally go to see him.

Although his parents in this life had a normal relationship with him, he entered the palace at a very young age.His parents have always had a shallow relationship, but in the end it was his parents who gave him the name "Zhao Zongbao" that he loves very much.

In his previous life, his parents died early, so in this life, he didn't have many doubts about his parents' premature death, he thought it was his destiny.

He didn't expect that his parents in this life didn't die normally.

He didn't care about the water battle, the mess of Weijun Wang's family, and even Zhao Shiqi.He didn't dare to tell Zhao Zongning, he took the little eunuch with him, and ordered everyone to stay where they were, then turned around and quietly went down Baojin Tower.

He walked into the Fifth Hall, and the Empress Dowager Sun had already put on her clothes, her wet hair was tied into a simple bun, and she was sitting cross-legged on the bed.Seeing him coming, she could still laugh: "Your Majesty is coming."

The water battle is still going on, just a few walls away, the sound of water, roar, horn, and shouts are still very festive.The royal farce just now is only for the common people, after all, it is not as good as the sweat and excitement right in front of us.

Zhao Cong stood a few steps away from her, and said directly, "Speak."

"Your Majesty, I often wonder, are you pretending to be stupid since you were a child, or did you become enlightened later? How many years have you lied to me?"

"How many years have you used me?"

Empress Dowager Sun laughed: "Your Majesty has been pretending to be stupid since childhood."

Zhao Cong frowned: "I don't want to listen to your nonsense, you just talk about the cause of my parents' death."

Empress Dowager Sun laughed a few more times before she calmly said: "King Anding County was killed by Jiang Wei during the war, making him look like he was killed by the enemy. At that time, the late emperor was critically ill, and you and Ning Niang were young , Duke Wei was timid and afraid to come out to make decisions, so he could easily hide it from everyone. As for Princess Ning, she was weak after giving birth to Ning Niang, and she died with just a little poison. The poison was sent by me. The ones belonged to His Highness Kun Ning, and they were placed in the teacup, no one knew about it, and no one dared to doubt it."

Zhao Cong was also very calm when he heard these words, knowing the reason, but still asked: "Why?"

"Then I can have you completely."

"Does Zhao Congde know about it?"

"You know, I was only a queen at the time and couldn't get in touch with Jiang Wei, but Jiang Wei was Zhao Congde's uncle. I discussed this matter with Zhao Congde, and then Zhao Congde contacted Jiang Wei."

"Zhao Congde did this for you?"

Empress Dowager Sun smiled: "He wanted to be the emperor himself, and he pretended to love me for so many years. With his appearance, how can he be the emperor? Although I have no evidence, I can guess that Zhao Congde must have been killed by Jiang Wei. Use, Zhao Congde has always been stupid and poisonous. Your Majesty is afraid to believe it, but the truth is, it was Zhao Congde who proposed to kill the king and princess of Anding County, so I thought of this. The Jiang family used Zhao Congde to use me With my grandson's family."

A good trick to use in a row.

Zhao Cong sarcastically said: "Why don't the Jiang family marry your Sun family? They have the same ambition. You should marry Jiang Weicai."

Empress Dowager Sun smiled lightly: "If there is no ambition, why should there be a change of dynasty? Didn't the Song Dynasty also win it from others?"

Zhao Cong sneered.

These words were within his expectation, he only blamed himself for thinking Zhao Congde too simply, he only wished he could catch Zhao Congde, otherwise if Zhao Congde slipped to Taiyuan Mansion, he was really afraid that Zhao Congde and Jiang Wei would directly rebel, if Jiang Weiruo He guessed that, if there is a connection with Liao or Xixia.

Thinking about it this way, it was all a matter, Zhao Cong frowned, turned around and was about to leave.

Empress Dowager Sun called him again: "Your Majesty, before I die, I only have one request."

Zhao Cong looked at her sideways and smiled calmly: "Dead?"

"Your Majesty won't let me die?" Queen Mother Sun was very puzzled.

"It is said that death is the best relief. How could I let you die so easily? What request do you have?"

"Even if Your Majesty wants to torture me, please treat Aunt Wang to me!" Even if she was tortured, she would torture Aunt Wang first.

Zhao Cong smiled: "Why do I want to make you happy? Not only do I want to tell you about your affair with the guard—"

"With the guards?!" Queen Mother Sun was puzzled.

"Zhao Congde is Zhao Shiqi's father, and Zhao Shiqi is someone I care about. I will see him being implicated in this matter? But there is one thing, Madam, you should rest assured that Zhao Congde's end will only be worse than yours. As for you, Madam? I will Make people spread the story of your promiscuous harem and Jin Mingchi all over the world, and let everyone in the Song Dynasty know how shameless your empress is. After that, what do you think I will do?"

"You..." Empress Dowager Sun's teeth were shaking, she was noble from birth, how could she bear this?

"I want to build a Taoist temple for you personally, and declare to the outside world that the empress dowager knows her sins and volunteered to join the Taoist school. What do you think of this idea?"

The Empress Dowager Sun almost rolled her eyes and fainted again. In such a quiet place like a Taoist temple, she was required to become a monk in it with such a filthy name!

"In addition, although this Taoist temple is a royal Taoist temple, I have always been close to the people and love the people. The Taoist temple is open to the people. The empress should speak for the people on a regular basis, so that the common people can know the heart of the empress."

"Why are you so cruel!"

Zhao Cong laughed again: "Do you want to torture Aunt Wang? I will send someone to torture Aunt Wang personally, and torture her in front of your mother. While torturing her, she will insult you at the same time, otherwise she will be tortured even worse." Zhao Cong laughed again. Cong said, nodded and said, "This idea is really good, I also came up with it on the spur of the moment."

"you!"

Zhao Cong stopped laughing, his face turned cold, he turned and left, not wanting to hear another word.

But when he turned around, he saw Zhao Shiqi walking out from behind the door.

Zhao Cong paused.

Zhao Shiqi knew something was wrong, otherwise Zhao Cong would not have come to see Queen Mother Sun on his own initiative. As soon as Zhao Cong left, he followed, and the guards didn't dare to really stop him.Behind the door, he listened to the entire conversation between Zhao Cong and Queen Mother Sun.

He thought that Zhao Cong would be very sad, but Zhao Cong was very calm, he was so calm from the beginning to the end.

It's normal to be overly calm when you're extremely angry, and when you're extremely sad.

It's just that Zhao Cong's sentence "Zhao Shiqi is someone I care about, and I will see him being implicated in this matter?" made his heart tremble suddenly, and he regretted it for the first time.

He seems to be doing something wrong.

He doesn't care about his own reputation, but Zhao Cong does.

He looked at Zhao Cong.

When expressing his heart, he said yes, no matter what happens in the future, he should discuss it with consideration. He shouldn't act without authorization, but he doesn't act without authorization. How can he explain that he knew about Zhao Congde and Queen Mother Sun's behavior in advance?He was also a little confused, and he was almost about to tell the truth.

Zhao Cong also looked at him for a while, then Zhao Cong walked up to him and smiled: "Did you hear that?"

"Ah."

Zhao Cong was actually not sad at first.

As the emperor, he did his best for this country, but most of the time he was out of touch, relying on the relationship with Zhao Shiqi and Zhao Zongning to pull himself back a bit.

If you can't give yourself to it, you can't grieve with your whole heart.

But at this time, for some reason, Zhao Shiqi's eyes were also full of sadness.

Zhao Shiqi heard the truth about his parents' death, so feel sorry for him?

Only then did he gradually realize that he was also sad.

For the parents in the previous life, but also for the parents who are less related to parents in this life.

In life, the most difficult thing to understand and understand is actually one's own mood, and the depression is inexplicable.

He walked around Zhao Shiqi, stepped out of the threshold, looked at the sparkling summer water in the distance, listened to the still lively voices, and felt a little lonely.

Seeing Zhao Cong like this, Zhao Shiqi felt even more uncomfortable.

In the past, he didn't even intend to let Zhao Cong know the truth about the death of Prince An Ding and Princess Princess An Ding. His biological parents, real noble identities, and really good-natured people died at the hands of those villains because of those nasty reasons. Don't feel bad?

He was not good at comforting people, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.

There was someone not far away, he couldn't kiss, and he couldn't hug Zhao Cong either.

Zhao Cong spoke first at this time: "Do you want to tell Ningning about this matter?"

Before Zhao Shiqi could speak, he said again: "Tell her, how uncomfortable will she be? If you don't tell her, it's not fair to her. But how will she accept it?"

"She's stronger than you think."

Zhao Cong nodded. In his previous life, his family background was very good.But the civilized world is different from here, the royal family is very tough, and Zhao Zongning is indeed tougher than any woman he has ever seen.

Zhao Cong sighed: "Let's talk about it in the future. You have just heard about my plan for Queen Mother Sun. As well as some of my worries, I will write a letter in my own hand and send it to Taiyuan Mansion. It is bound to be faster than Zhao Congde and the others. I still want to send people to Xixia again. If Jiang Weizhen has contact with the two countries, I will always fight for one side. Fortunately, Jiang Wei only has half of the military power in Taiyuan Mansion for the time being.

The group of cavalry that Xie Wenrui had trained on Yongxing Army Road was just right for use.I never thought that the war might come so suddenly, I am not ready yet. "Zhao Cong is actually a little worried. Although he has made a lot of preparations for the future battle, he has no experience and no one knows what will happen in actual combat.

Zhao Shiqi could sense Zhao Cong's nervousness and panic, and he said softly: "Your Majesty, everything is just speculation. Although Jiang Wei has different intentions, he only has [-]% of the troops in Taiyuan Mansion in his hands. How can he compete with Yongxing Army Road?" Cavalry and forbidden troops to fight? Not to mention the troops stored in the east and west roads of Hebei. Jiang Wei is not stupid, otherwise he would not dare to take action after waiting. Jiang Wei does not know about Zhao Congde at present, and the most urgent task is to find Zhao Congde and intercept him Keep any suspicious letters addressed to Taiyuan Mansion."

"Zhao Congde left strangely today." After Zhao Cong finished speaking, he continued, "For the time being, only you will know what the Empress Dowager said. I know that if it gets out, Jiang Wei will know that he has been exposed, and it will be even more difficult."

"Wei County Palace, what does His Majesty want to do with it?"

"Let's lock them up in Wei Junwang's mansion first, and we can only deal with them later." Zhao Cong sighed again, "I believe that Wei Junwang and Zhao Shiyuan didn't know about it, but I don't know how to deal with them. He has helped me a few times, Shiyuan is honest and honest, but if Zhao Congde really dares to do something worse, I will not spare their lives."

Zhao Shiqi nodded, and they really didn't know that after he ascended the throne, he had to be killed.In the chaos of his previous life, Zhao Shiyuan was still a staunch orthodox party, and if he didn't stand with Zhao Congde, King Wei Jun was pissed to death by Zhao Congde.On the contrary, it was Zhao Ting. Thinking of Zhao Ting, Zhao Shiqi immediately said: "Your Majesty, if Zhao Congde escapes from Kaifeng Mansion, he will probably go to Song Prefecture."

"Song Zhou?"

Zhao Shiqi was about to tell about the relationship between Zhao Ting, Concubine Xu and Aunt Wang, but he woke up at a critical moment. His Majesty didn't know this yet, how could he know in advance?He closed his eyelids: "It's just a guess, I guess he's going to Taiyuan Mansion, or he's going south." He was reminding Zhao Cong.

Zhao Cong didn't realize it, but he really thought of another thing.

When Aunt Wang harmed him back then, the fungus came from the southwest, and Empress Dowager Sun had always been friends with the Southwestern barbarians. From this point of view, the possibility of fleeing south seems to be greater.Zhao Cong was sure, turned around and said: "Where is the house you arranged for me? I'm going to write a letter, you go back to Baojin Tower, and watch the water battle on my behalf. Don't show any flaws, don't make people panic."

Zhao Shiqi knew that this was an urgent time, and he also blamed him for not discussing it with Zhao Cong, and doing something bad with good intentions, the two of them met by accident, he nodded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will go and watch, after the matter is over, I'm here to find you."

"The Empress Dowager Sun is here to be watched closely, tie her up, and don't let her die."

"it is good."

"If Ning Ning asks, you will say that I am searching for Zhao Congde."

"Very well. I'll tell the truth and make her believe it."

"You broaden their hearts, today's reality is..."

"I will."

Zhao Cong sighed: "Fortunately, there is still you. I will not let anyone tarnish your reputation." Zhao Cong took the initiative to reach out his hand, took his hand, and shook it before releasing it.Zhao Cong turned around and walked back.

Zhao Shiqi smiled wryly. Although this incident has aroused all the conflicts in the future in advance, it can be regarded as a good thing, but he made Zhao Cong worry again.

He turned to look at the water, more doubts in his mind.

He felt more and more that there was an inner ghost, but who was the inner ghost.

He also looked at the surface of the water for a long time before calling for someone to come, and said: "Tie up the Empress Dowager, stuff her mouth with a cloth towel, and take care of her."

"Yes, sir."

Zhao Shiqi raised his foot and left. He had to make up for his mistakes, and deal with the matter as soon as the water battle was over, and asked about the situation at that time.
